Ranger Guffey,

Today is the 38th anniversary of your heroic death. I'm heartened to see you have family that loves and remembers you. I pray you are looking down upon them from your home in Heaven. I will lift them up in prayer as well.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God”. – Matthew 5:9
